Photos of Annene von Durchgerockt

Testimonials

Tight toy night, streets were so bright.
The world looked so thin and between my bones and skin
there stood another person who was a little surprised
to be face to face with a world so alive.
I fell.
Didja feel low? No, not at all. Huh???
I fell right into the Arms of Venus de Milo.

Ms. Annene doesn't need me to join the throng of those who rightly revere her remarkable photographs, and witty and adroit comments, yet I must. Her work and observations are always surprising, interesting and pleasurable. And, of course, suffused with impeccable style.

She stole Shania Twain's coat and then she stole my heart. Then she sold both on ebay and bought a pony, which she rode to Mexico and set up a school for donkeys with behavioural problems.

I was just going through my favorites and realized that Annene is the most favorited in my collection. On top of that she has so many photos in her stream that I haven't favorited. Yet. This woman has a magical eye and captures the world in a most personal way. I love it!

Annene... combines the independent heart of an artist with the power of universal love. I’m a sucker for people with the right mix of masculine and feminine energies and she has it. Affengeil.

KEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRBBBBBOOOOOOMMMMM the full impact of annenes work hit me! With the resulting spoooge being so powerful that it ripped my y fronts in two and sent me face first straight into the mouse... poor mouse didnt even see it coming.

once i said 'yay' and she said 'yay yourself' (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ann3n3/418048341/) since then, i'm intimidated by and kind of in love with her. like the chick that doesn't go to the prom with you. her photos are intense, sincere and engaging. one of a kind.

it took quite some time for me to warm up to the images on annene's stream...
pardon me for saying so, but initially i found them a tad precious and perhaps a little too esoteric for my simple literal mind to appreciate..
i am known as a bit of a bullshitter around these parts...but i do not lie..

so when i say that this stream serves up some of the finest images that flickr has to offer...it's no joke...
thx AvD...i think i'm finally starting to get it...

Eloquent words abound here, about Annene...and it goes without saying that none of those words no matter how well they are put together, quite describes her.

Eloquent words abound here, about Annene...and it goes without saying that none of those words no matter how well they are put together, quite describes her.
I will not be so eloquent, I will just say that as one can see by all the tributes posted here about Annene that two or three things jump out.
One, that Annene is a great photographer, perhaps as great as Ansel Adams, or any who came before.
Two, that Annene is unique, one of a kind, often imitated, never duplicated. Just when you think you have her figured out, she smiles and gently knocks you on your butt with something unexpected.
Thirdly, and most important of all, Annene is one of those addicting personalities. She knows no stranger, and the longer to know her, the more you love her. From the tributes posted here, I would have to say that Annene is loved by many, many people. That perhaps is the greatest tribute of all! Annene, I/we love you.

No question, Annene is the most interesting American photographer on Flickr. "American" is there because her work is a delicious, sizzling 3/4 pounder of sexual surfaces with the cheese scraped off, topped with pixels and Special Sauce containing 17 secret herbs and spices, wrapped up in a leopardskin enigma.

No question, Annene is the most interesting American photographer on Flickr. "American" is there because her work is a delicious, sizzling 3/4 pounder of sexual surfaces with the cheese scraped off, topped with pixels and Special Sauce containing 17 secret herbs and spices, wrapped up in a leopardskin enigma. On wheels.

there will always ve debates about who is the 'best' photographer on flickr; who is the most inffluential, who is the most emulated...
these debates are rendered meaningless as soon as the phrase ann - ene is muttered.
a modern master.

Annene is the center of the universe. She is the shining star in the middle. She is the best.
I wanted to write a testimonial for a long time now, but it is totally useless after 404's testimonial. I will never hit the nail in so few words. Apart from that I would not use those words. :-)

Ann'ne takes stunning photos and I suspect she may come from the depths of outer space, out near Pluto or maybe even from one of those tiny blinking lights in the sky that I worry about occasionally. But that's ok, so long as she flosses regularly.
